Week 5! Things are finally coming together. I still have some finishing up to do and some things to source, believe it or not!
If you are new here you can see my progress during week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 4. For more information about the One Room Challenge and to see all of the other bloggers participating go here.
The room is painted and most of the pieces are back in the room. Thanks goodness! One small guest room was taking over my entire house. Seriously....every room in my house was somehow effected. Things were moved everywhere and it seemed that for the past week we couldn't function.
To add to the disfunction, I decided it was a good time to pull up our existing stair runner and have the painter repaint the steps and the floors upstairs. It was crazy!

Here are some snapshots of the room.
The rug.....I love it! I ended up ordering the Stark antelope pattern.
Some accessories....a leopard print box and a ethnic printed throw.
I love wicker so I found this little stool to use in the room. The hale navy doors and wimborne white walls look great. The room is so much brighter painted all one color.
A few more accessories I picked up. Some Italian wood pictures frames from Homegoods and a shell.
Lighting is still a bit of an issue. I had ordered some pleated lampshades from OKA direct that I used as part of my plan and showed you in the first ORC post. I knew it was going to be close but they should have made it. Yesterday I reached out to them to see if there was a shipping update and claim they didn't get my order??? I have email confirmations of it but they have no record or it so my order was never shipped. So frustrating. Now I am scrambling to figure something out. I was going to use those on some black swing arm sconces. Anything ready made in a printed, pleated fabric is too large that I have come across and at this point I don't have time to have a custom shade made and shipped in time.
I found a pair of small blue glass lamps on lucite bases at Homegoods which I will probably end up using. They are a little bit smaller than I wanted and I would love to swap out the shade for something other than a white drum shade but right now it looks like that is my only option.
By the time I realized the shades weren't coming it was already too late to order any other lighting that I loved. Nothing was going to arrive in time.

I still have some pillows to pick up from my workroom early next week and the drapes and shade need to be hung.
Other than that I think I am in good shape but I am pretty confident that I am going to be freaking out next week trying to get everything pulled together.
Come back next week to see the big reveal and be sure to visit all of the other bloggers taking part in the One Room Challenge!
